Default Pistons were notched,can I go bigger...

My pistons were notched for my 224-580 113 +2 cam and shaved heads
Can I now go say a 234-598 114 +4 cam w/o worries or will I hit.

If they had to notch for a cam that small, there will be no way the cam you listed will fit. Unless they cut a hell of a relief.....

JS, why were your pistons notched for such a small cam? I use a 230/230/112 .591/.591 on my heads shaved 0.025" with no clearance issues. You will need to check P-V on what you have now to determine how big you can go. It's an easy check using a dial indicator.

I used a bore scope and believe me they are notched.
I also had my cam on a cam dr so I know its a 224-580 113LSA +2

I have 7.35 PR too....
Maybe Carteks timing events are radical?

I dont like this cam,It idles way to docile and isnt very snappy.
It never was,I liked my TR 224 MUCH BETTER.

I wonder if I could get away with throwing in the TR230 cam?
I like TR cams,I might go TR224 but I really think that would be a waste.

Any thoughts,I dont wanna pull the heads
